The crew had been gathered around a small plasma torch in an uninhabited part of the central chamber, one night. It was a colder area, near the center of the place, where no one else liked to be because of the diminished oxygen content of the air. Ordin had ne...

Dhir's son was the boy they had first seen in the outer corridors, and he was a talented artist. He took pieces of old, corroded metal panels and ground them into a fine dust, adding small amounts of water or even food paste, to make a remarkably effective pai...

A'Kuul came walking toward Ordin's tent a day later. Ziir and the others were there too, even the Nabaal pilot was hovering nearby. They had made it an increasingly popular tradition to have regular meetings at the commander's house. Niilan only came because h...

No one had seen Niilan for ten days, which meant he was either heavily disguised, dead, or hiding somewhere deep within the ship, far down in the lifeless corridors beneath the man chamber, where all Ordin's searching could not locate him. The crew was becomin...

"For a moment, I thought we'd never find you! We went back to the council and told them what had happened... We have another hyperspatial physicist here to help us out with the calculations. We just needed a signal to lock onto so we could find the ship... Don...

Creta Mirin, a Taiidan republican, a former freighter pilot for the old empire, found a seat on the first available transport, to the world of her birth. The flight was three hours, but seemed only a short moment, a drop of water in a sea. The transport lande...

As the Repair Corvettes ran across the hull of the lead carrier, the Khar-Toba II, General Kiirt Sjet reflected on the recent skirmish with a small Turanic Raider attack fleet. The Raiders had 5 Ion Array Frigates, and a squadron of Standard Corvettes, which w...

15 hours later we arrived in the outskirts of the Super Nova. And since the Mothership was here, the radiation has grown in intensity several times over, meaning that our sensors are completely useless at this range. So the general ordered a probe be built wit...

"We are 30 seconds from the hyperspace drop-out point, sir." "Great, now we'll see if the Kadesh have forgiven us for what we did on our return to Hiigara. But if they haven't, we'd better be able to get out of there pretty damn fast. Set a rendezvous point a...

General Kiirt briefed the Kadeshi pilots, and formed a plan that would send our strike craft (Interceptors, Multi-gun Corvettes, and Heavy Corvettes; not the Swarmers) just inside the shipyard's sensor range to drag most of the station's strike craft support a...

After about an hour of dead silence and boredom while waiting for our Capital Ships to get into position, the Strike Craft burned their way into the station's sensor range and engaged the Tiiadani fighters. As the Interceptors weaved in and out of the other fi...

With that the Tiiadans powered up their Grav Well Generators, forever trapping us here unless they are destroyed, or shut down. Even with our Kadeshi Multi-Beam Frigates, and Swarmers, who are stuck here with us, we are still -strategically- at a major disadva...

After the arrival of the Kadeshi the battle took a major turn in our favor. Raala launched several squadrons of Swarmers, as well as their 'cousins', the Advanced Swarmers. Raala also brought a hunter fleet of Multi-Beam Frigates. This battle is set-match-and ...

After 5 months of 'seek and destroy' the crews onboard the Khar-Toba II, Kharak's Revenge, Blue Nebula, and the rest of the fleet got a month and a half of leave on Hiigara's natural satellite, Angel Moon, while their warships are being repaired, and reloaded....

Aboard the Kadeshi arkship Khar'Nua at The Oracle of Hannon... "This is sacrilege," demanded the Kadeshi priest. "No one can take the Dark Sword off from the Oracle!" A fearsome statue of the goddess N'ua in warrior armor stood watch over the Oracle along wi...

"Father?" "I'm right here, my child." His image beamed with light, and an aura surrounded him. "I thought you were dead." Zha knelt before the image. "Is that really you?" "I will always be with you, my loved one," said the image. "You know me by what you f...

Seejuk returned to the makeshift laboratory inside the Mule, one of the sole places of refuge he had in the ship from the constant bickering of the two Kiithsa scions. The lab was used to keep specimens and relics for analysis. Something caught his attention....

It was the time of the Festivities, and it was the opportunity for the Flo'karr to gather the stories and tales from all the numerous Houses of the Raiders and record them in song and poem for all their children to hear. But Zhura, following the quest sought ...
